Tam O'Shanter Golf Course, officially known as Tam O'Shanter of Pennsylvania, is an 18 hole public golf course built in 1929 and was designed by Emil Loeffler. It is located in Hermitage, Pennsylvania.[1]
Emil Loeffler, who was the superintendent of Oakmont Country Club, built the original 18 holes at Tam O'Shanter in 1929, just before the Great Depression began. The fourteenth hole, a short par 3, is known as "Death Valley".
In 1948, Jack and Mary Lou Kerins purchased the course.
